CuisinartICT-60 Double Induction Cooktop, Black

My kitchen is small and my electric stove throws too much heat. So happy I found this unit. Works great. As some other reviewers have mentioned, it does make a pulsing noise but in my experience noise reduces with pot/pan placement adjustment and isn’t bothersome.It works really well and doesn’t throw heat around. During operation, area around perimeter of cooktop stays largely cool since heat is efficiently transferred to pots/pans. Still adjusting to it shutting off when I lift the pan while cooking but it’s a nice safety feature and it comes back on once contact is restored. Enjoying the timer function more than I expected too. Looks nice and easy to clean.

So happy with this two burner induction stove. Works well. Maybe a tad noisy but overall I couldn’t be happier. Relieved now that I have alternative to my gas stove. And it turns out I never really used all four gas burners so two is just fine. Also super pleased with Cuisinart Customer Service. Helped me very quickly. and I I am now a loyal Cuisinart customer. (Also love their toaster oven air fryer) A big thank you to Nikka who took care of my issue in a most satisfactory way.

This is the 3rd one I've purchased over probably at least 15 years, and I love it. Even bought one for my mother. Easy to control cooking temperature and time as you cook, and so easy to clean. I use it all the time and actually prefer it to my regular stove. Finally a product that does what is advertises and is top quality! Thank you Cuisinart!

The price point on this cooktop plus good reviews from a couple of foodie web sites were why I bought it. I like having a two "burner" capacity because it makes cooking more efficient. We don't use a conventional range, only counter top induction cookers and a countertop oven. This unit replaces a heavily used NuWave single burner.As others pointed out, one burner has less heating than the other. On my unit, the left burner uses 1000 watts and the right burner uses 500 watts. If you are expecting a big blast of magnetic induction you won't get it with this unit. It is, however, just fine for my purposes. The energy between burners is balanced so that it will never exceed 1500 watts continuous use. I plugged the unit into a KiloWatt and checked the sinewave and wattage draw. It keeps a very level 60hz sine wave (+/- .06 hz), and the wattage can peak to 585 on the right burner and 1590 on the left burner (but only for a second or two).I am able to do bring water to a quick boil on the 1000 watt side and to hot fry on that burner as well. Both burners constantly balance for temperature sensing so the heating is fairly steady. Heat level #1 will keep food warm, around 190• F. The active induction ring is about 6 inches but unless you have the setting on #6 or above, the induction area is only 4 inches. Not a draw back but when simmering stew, soup or sauce it will need frequent stirring...not unlike a gas burner.Three things I found to be disappointing about this unit. 1) the booklet that comes with it does not have very good information about how to use the features. and what the temperature ranges are for each setting. I wound up using a KiloWatt and a laser heat sensor to figure out the temperatures of the numbered cooking levels. 2) it has a timer but all the timer does is beep, it doesn't turn off the unit. My Tramonitina and NuWave had timers that you could set and they would turn the unit off. Pretty useless. 3) the control panel is covered with a plastic membrane. My experience with plastic membrane (NuWave) is that i will peel if it gets too hot and the membrane covering the buttons will come off after some use. I will update on this.I gave it 4 stars because of the timer and non-helpful instructions.

Very easy cleanup and operation. Not durable. A plastic chunk cracked out of the center. Cheap plastic cooktop edge burns and cracks.. Left burner cooks fine between 6-7 setting. Right burner at max 5 setting is a little too low. Induction noise continues after pan removed. My other induction plate died shortly after that sound. Recommend for occasional buffets. Not good as a daily cooker.

Great product. Would buy again. Thanks,

Very easy to use controls, sturdy, very easy to clean; unlike the made-up/fictitious name unit I previously ordered with difficult controls and variable results and NO US certifications at all!!! When running, it smelled of burning electrical components! The Cuisinart had no odor. It is also made in China but to Cuisinart and US specifications. Stick with name brands in appliances!

After a fire in our old house we opted to replace the existing built-in electric cooktop with induction. We might have gone for gas but too much installation was required.Once we had it, we were thrilled. Induction cooking heats as evenly as gas and unlike electric cooktops are cool to the touch after cooking. Hence no burned fingers or paws. Our new home was victimized by flooding after Hurricane Hermine and all of our electric appliances had to be replaced. This provided another opportunity for induction.Our new cooktop did not rest on an island and our old practice of making cheese fondue as we gathered around the island was impracticable. But then in a flash we saw the solution a portable indiction burner. We put it on the table and everyone can have bread and fruit. A double burner is somewhat of a luxury but with a second burner, there can always be some chocolate dessert fondue.
